Guys, The problem is simple. If you take a Wireshark trace you immediately see the issue. You will have to filter on VNC. The supported security type which is given for 14.04 is "type 18, TLS". For 13.10 we see two types, "type 18, TLS" and "type 2, VNC". The "type 2, VNC" is used by your VNC vie

@Holger: yes --- I just noticed it too. I humbly suggest that Canonical or Redhat help the vino developers to add a more common encryption type to the vino server. It is the default (and the facto only) remote vnc server in our system, and in its current state forces everyone to connect **in clea

Upstream comment: "I think that the TLS security type (18) is rather uncommon, but gtk-vnc supports it. I think that virt-viewer uses gtk-vnc and should work: http://virt-manager.org/download/ " so basically the problem is that vino is using an encryption type which is supported only by few clie

Sebastian: no. the default is to use encryption. But after updating vino (do not remember at which point), vino changed the security type to a new one (at least, I think); the connection stopped to work with the error reported above and the only solution to have it back was to disable encryption.

I agree that the best possible solution would be for the Windows clients (at least TigerVNC and TightVNC) to catch up.
